Judging by the election returns, not enough of them to matter.
As for Ascroft's replacement, how could it be worse (realistically, not in theory)? None of the names mentioned have nearly the same fundamentalist fervor of Ashcroft. I'm not saying they're impressive, or even good, but I don't think any of them would be as polarizing. (BTW,
NY Times reports a source in the WH said Ashcroft was asked, or strongly suggested, to leave.)
